I don't have caller ID, so I had no idea who I was intending to abuse, should it happen again.

Many
people would say ignore it, don't pick up, let it go through
to the answering machine - but I was in the mood for some ranty yelling,
so I was actually quite looking forward to the overseas call centre
finally getting their shit together and connecting correctly.

At
the very same time as all of this was happening, I was on my mobile
attempting to call #1Hubby about an urgent and important matter that
could not wait until he got home from work that afternoon.

It was of such critical importance that I completely forgot what it was after the first prank call to the home phone.

Only
on my fifth attempt to call #1Hubby, completely incensed about
the repeated prank calls and ready to vent and rant to him about it....did
I realise that I was attempting to call the wrong number under
#1Hubby's various contact numbers on my mobile.

I was trying to call him...at home.

That's right, I was phoning myself.

Unwittingly pranking myself.

Shouting hello to myself, and the faint echo that I could hear was what my mobile phone, in my other hand, was picking up.

Seriously, should I have ever been allowed to procreate?

Totally unrelated to the post, but this image came up when I searched for "phone fail". Check out the brows, yo!

LOL that is absolute GOLD! Well done!On a semi-related note, the local McDonald's must have a similar number to ours because we always have people calling here asking if we're McDonalds - drives me crazy!
